Okay, I'm gonna answer a few questions that come up rather often. Remember, this is on PAGE 48 so if anybody asks a question that was already answered refer them to here. Credit goes to Serebii, and Chronos since I don't have the game. It's in no partucular order so use the table of contents.Contents:1.01: D/P release dates2.02: Transfering3.03: Pal Park4.04: WHOMG! Will my shinies still be shiny?!?! 5.05: Is Regigigas the Uber Normal?6.06: Lucario isn't a Legendary7.07: The starters are Dark, Psychic, and Fighting8.08: What Emulator does this work on?9.09: Will this work on my US DS?10.1: What's Manaphy?11.1: What's the Manaphy Prevo thing? 12.1: My aunt's cousin's neice's friend's step mother's niece's friend told me there is a Dragon Eeveelution.13.1: What does the Magmar evolution look like?14.1: How about the Nosepass Evo?15.1: What's that Chia Pet thing?16.1: What's a Chia Pet?17.1: Is Eevee in the game?18.1: What does the cartredge look like?19.1: How do you delete the Save file?20.2: What starter is best?21.2: How do you get the Uber Normal?22.2: How do you peoplez know what the sprites look like?23.2: What are all the English names?24.2: Why is this taking so long?25.2: What can I do 'till it comes out?26.2: What are the Gender differences?1.01: When does D/P come out in the US and Europe?Nobody knows yet there are rumours about a November relese in America but currently the most likely is Spring 2007. Europe is unconfermed.2.02: Can I trade between this and my GBA games?Not exactly. See, in Diamond and Pearl the Pokémon get transferred from the GBA games. During the transfer you go to Pal Park.3.03: What's Pal Park?Pal Park is where you go when you transfer Pokémon. At Pal Park you have to capture the Pokémon you're transfering. Legendaries are as easy to catch as common Pokémon. The balls have a 100% sucess rate. You can only do 6 transfers a day per game. EDIT: You can't transfer Eggs. EDIT2: You can't run from the battles or transfer less than 6 Pokémon at a time.4.04: Will my shinies still be shiny?Yes, according to Serebii the Pokémon you transfer retains everything, LV, Moveset, EVs, IVs, Held item, Nature, and whether or not it's shiny.5.05: Is Regigigas the Uber Normal?No, Regigigas is the leader of the Regis. The Uber Normal is a Pokémon the remotely resembles a deer but is white and has wierd thorny vines on the sides.
As seen here6.06: Lucario is a Lengendary.False, Lucario's stats are too low and he has a Prevo. If he were a legendary he'd be the Pluto of Legendaries.7.07: The starters are Dark, Psychic, and Fighting.False, they are Water, Fire, and Grass like usual. 8.08: What Emulator does this work on?There is no Emulator that works with this game at the moment so either buy a Flashcart or Import it.9.09: Will this work on my US DS and can I transfer from my US games?DS games aren't regeon specific so it'll work on your DS, not sure about the transfering though. EDIT: You can't transfer US Pokémon to JP D/P.10.1: What's Manaphy?Manaphy is a Pokémon obtined through a Nintendo event for Pokémon Ranger. It appears in the 9th movie and is a pure Water type.11.1: Well, what's that Manaphy Prevo then?The isn't a Manaphy Prevo. It's the result of breeding Manaphy with a Ditto. It's name is Fione and it's a weaker version of Manaphy. The reason it's thee is bacause Nintendo wanted to give people little tastes of Manaphy so they'll shell out the cash for the real thing.12.1: My aunt's cousin's neice's friend's step mother's niece's friend told me there is a Dragon Eeveelution.Well, that person is lying. There is no Dagon Eeveelution as of yet. The only Eeveelution types are Water, Fire, Electric, Dark, Psychic, Ice, and Grass.13.1: What does the Magmar evolution look like?
Voila! If the link doesn't work imagine the result of a Magmar and Bowser ''breeding'' but without the shell.14.1: How about the Nosepass Evo?
Here ya go. If that doesn't work imagine a grey Mr. Potato head with a bushier mustache.15.1: What's that Chia Pet thing?That my friend, is the Uber Grass Pokémon. It's name is Sheimi.
picture See? Chia Pet.16.1: What's a Chia Pet?Ch-ch-ch-chia! Man, you are not old skool enough. A Chia Pet is something you put seeds on and water it then grows a bush out of it's head that looks like an afro.17.1: Is Eevee in the game?Why yes, he is. You can catch Eevee and Porygon in the wild.18.1: What does the cartredge look like?It's black with a sticker that says either Diamond or Pearl.19.1: How do you delete the Save file?At the title screen press B+^+SELECT or so they say.

20.2: What starter is best?There is no uber starter but if you include evolutions Hikozaru is the best with Pochama in a close second. But it's really a matter of personal taste.21.2: How do you get the Uber Normal?Now, this is a rumour Serebii and Coronis are looking into. The rumour is that you can catch Aruseus after completing the National Dex. Which means you either have to trade for Manaphy or attend a Nintendo event with Pokémon Ranger with you inorder to get Aruseus. Or you Hack your own like a few people did.22.2: How do you peoplez know what they look like?
This site has every single in battle sprite in the game. The load times aren't long like another site andnone of the sprites are glitched. The downside is that you have to have the numbers memorized in order to find the Pokémon you want to look at since you have to click on each individual link. But it's still great.23.2: What are all the English names?So far the only English names are(E/J): Lucario/Rukario, Mime JR./Manene, Bonsly/Usohachi, Munchlax/Gonbe, Weavile/Manyula, Manaphy/Manafi, and Electakible/Elekible(rumour). 24.2: Why is this taking so long?!?!

Be patient my angry friend. It's taking so long because Gamefreak doesn't want glitches like Missingno. to run amuk again. Also, they have to come up with roughly 101 names for all the new Pokémon. If they didn't take their time there would be many programming errors. What would you prefer? A game that's so glitchy it's barely playable? Or, a game that glitch free and fun?25.2: What can I do 'till it comes out?Play your older games or Okami or something.You could do what I did and go on a breeding spree or make a Wishlist. 26.2: What are the Gendr differences?To be honest I can't see a whole lot of them. I'll list the ones I know. Venasaur, there is a seed on the flower for girls, Pikachu, the tail is shaped like a heart on the girls, Raichu, the tail is flat on girls, Muku line, the whit spot on the heads are smaller on the girls, Machop line, apparently the males have bigger buldges, and Pocchama, the crown shape is bigger on the girls. That's all I see. I'll update with more information. EDIT: Female Wobeffet wear pink lipstick.That's all for now but I may add more later.
